STARBUCKS IS GAY!
According to another Baptist Press item, Starbucks “promotes
homosexual agenda” http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=21387 because of its coffee cups. The offending lattes are those featuring a quote by author Armistead Maupin in which he regrets suppressing his sexual orientation for so long because “I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone.” The Press reports the Christian right is mulling a boycott of the Seattle-based company and urges good Christian families families to let “Starbucks know they are not happy with the company’s promotion of the homosexual agenda.” You gotta hand it to the Dobsons, Dornans and Sheldons of the world: they find gayness in everything save their own kind http://www.washingtonblade.com/2004/6-18/news/national/wave.cfm
THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN CONDOM
In the Baptist Press today, http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=21399 Pastor Rick “Purpose-Driven Life” Warren of Saddleback Church urges Christians (that doesn't include you and me, Catholics) to take up the cause of “the greatest health crisis in history—the worldwide HIV/AIDS pandemic.” Of course, Warren being Warren—a shrewd man who masks his church's ultra-conservative dogma with fast-selling pop journals and Andy Griffith Show clips during sermons—his essay quickly becomes an anti-government, anti-non-profit missive. “I believe the local church is the only organization that can eradicate this disease,” Warren writes, adding, “The only way for treatment to become universal is to develop a church-based treatment model.” Which means abstinence, belief in Jesus and no condom distribution, apparently. Warren might sincerely care for AIDS victims, but what matters more to him: the bodies of the afflicted or their non-saved souls?
